Currently, the important thing for the players of the National League does not remain to find a city which is the fun, but which is rather SAFE. Even if it is “flat”, if it is very safe, it will be unequivocally elected. Players are starting to fear the United States and it is for this reason that the cities of Toronto and Edmonton suddenly rose to the top (for Toronto). Finally…
The city where the Oilers play may be too plate for NHL players, for example. At least that seems to indicate Ryan Kesler, who hastened to answer a tweet delivered by Bob McKenzie. In this tweet, he spoke on behalf of all NHL players: “Please say it’s Toronto, please, Toronto!” “- All NHL players
“Please say we’re playing in Toronto, please be Toronto”. -every NHL player https://t.co/u3iGrYlCxT

Ryan, just like that, the NHL needs two bubble cities to separate the two Conferences (East and West).
But why did Kesler attack Edmonton and his fans like this? The answer makes so much sense… he played a decade proudly wearing the Vancouver Canucks uniform. During those ten years, he collected 393 points in 655 games… and he made a multitude of enemies in Edmonton and Calgary, because (or thanks to) his way of playing. I remind you that Kesler was one of the most hated players during his highlights in this league. Then let’s add that Vancouver was at the top to get a part of the tournament, but the wind suddenly changed sides…
So with this Kesler surge, we can deduce that he still hates his former Edmonton rivals as much and that he still has the Canucks logo tattooed on his heart. A warrior of this caliber never denies his origins, he who was selected in the first round by them in 2003.
